These monkeys can adapt to any habitat and some have even adapted to living in human communities. They are omnivores and have been instrumental in medical and scientific practices.

The niche of the rhesus macaque is they are found in forests, mangroves, scrubs, grasslands, mountainous areas. In those areas, they feed mainly on fruits, seeds, and some roots. Their predators include raptors, dogs, weasels, leopards, tigers, and their prey consists of insects, spiders and birds eggs.

Areas such as Cayo Santiago, and Puerto Rico studied these animals for information about their behaviors. In central Florida, many of the rhesus macaque were released into the forests to increase tourism rates. There was an attempt to control breeding; however, they continued to grow in numbers, resulting in them being threatening to native populations.

  • Fire Crackers: a form of firework

    • Pros: makes a loud noise that scares the macaques away, cheap and easy to find

    • Cons: must have a supply of fire crackers, must light them manually, and the monkeys may return after the fire crackers are done

  • Chemical repellents: active substances, such as Anthraquinone, Butanethiol, and Methyl Anthranilate

    • Pros: imitates predator’s urine and repels the monkeys

    • Cons: hard to find, must replace after 20-30 days

  • Solar fencing: lightly shocks anything that touches it

    • Pros: very effective at deterring monkeys and other animals

    • Cons: expensive, high maintenance

The fence is electrified with pulsating currents, which deliver a short, sharp, but non-lethal shock to anything that touches it. This creates psychological fear towards the fence, which is why it is so effective in repelling animals, especially the rhesus macaque.


    To set up solar fencing, you will need to plan the fence layout and purchase the fence. The fence must be at least 7 feet tall. The cost will vary depending on the strength of the shock and the amount of fencing. Then, you must install the fence posts, insulators, wire, and the solar-powered energizer. Having a battery for the solar electric fence system is recommended. Lastly, connect the energizer to the fence and grounding system and test the fence.


    You will need permission from your local authorities to install solar fencing, as the fence will shock anything that touches it, including children and pets.


    The absence of monkeys and other animals will be a clear and rewarding sign that your solar fencing has succeeded in repelling rhesus macaques.
